Essential practices to improve your B2B e-commerce store

Better product display and management 

Effective product management is crucial to the success of any e-commerce business. By utilizing various multidimensional settings provided by SHOPLINE B2B e-commerce solutions, merchants can streamline their product management process and improve the customer experience. Bulk management tools allow to upload, edit, and list products in bulk, saving time and effort. Providing downloadable product information, such as images, specifications, and quotes, can also help customers make informed purchasing decisions. Tiered pricing offers different prices for different levels of the quantity purchased, while order limits place a minimum or maximum limit on the quantity of a product that a customer can buy. Combining these strategies can create a powerful incentive for customers to buy more while helping businesses manage inventory and maximize revenue.

Set easy-to-use onsite search options

B2B e-commerce platforms often offer a vast range of products, but it can be overwhelming for customers to find what they need. To address this issue, onsite search options are important. By providing a search bar on the homepage or navigation menu, customers can easily find the products they are looking for. Sorting options, filters, and category-specific searches are also needed to enhance the customer experience and streamline the search process. In SHOPLINE, you can easily set suitable search options as SHOPLINE provides an easy-to-use website builder that allows you to make these settings effortlessly.

With more customers relying on smartphones to browse and shop online, making e-commerce stores accessible to them on the go is required. SHOPLINE helps merchants easily create a dedicated mobile app for their e-commerce platform, ensuring easy access to their products and services.
